This work is a balanced presentation of the pro-life/pro-choice
controversy, showing all aspects of the debate and why it is so
difficult to resolve. Abortion in the United States: A Reference
Handbook offers a balanced, objective look at the ultimate "wedge"
issue in American culture. This volume offers a revealing history
of abortion politics and policy from the 1800s to Roe v. Wade to
the present, with clear analyses of disputes such as public funding
for abortion, the status of the fetus, contraception, abortion as a
"litmus test" for candidates and judicial nominees, and more. A
separate chapter looks at abortion politics throughout the world
and places the United States in a global context. Biographies of
major players, extensive data and documents, and a bibliography of
important resources make this an essential resource on one of the
most controversial topics in our national dialog.
